I am looking at yet another 1955D Washington Quarter that appears to be a stage 'B' or later WRPM-002. I believe the first coin I posted was a Stage 'A' coin as the die markers were more pronounced than this coin. This shape and position of the mint mark seems correct. The die markers present on the subject coin are Obverse Stage B: Die scratch at TRUST is still present (although not as pronounced). Die scratch from the nose is weaker (as in non-existant). Gouges below the nose are weaker. Reverse Stage B: Die scratch at AMERICA is abraded and is V-shaped (only the Right side of the 'V;' is left). Die scratch at QUARTER is abraded away. Die crack along the outer side of the eagle’s right wing positioned below "U N I T E D". When you put the two coins (this one and the previously posted WRPM-002) side by side they look like twins! Thoughts or comments?

CONECA (pronounced: CŌ´NECA) is a national numismatic organization devoted to the education of error and variety coin collectors. CONECA focuses on many error and variety specialties, including doubled dies, Repunched mintmarks, multiple errors, clips, double strikes, off-metals and off-centers—just to name a few. In addition to its website, CONECA publishes an educational journal, The Errorscope, which is printed and mailed to members bimonthly. CONECA offers a lending library, examination, listing and attribution services; it holds annual meetings at major conventions (referred to as Errorama) around the country.
CONECA was formed through a merger of CONE and NECA in early 1983. To learn more about the fascinating HISTORY OF THE ERROR HOBBY and THE HISTORY OF CONECA, we encourage you to visit us our main site Here
